One of (an intented) 100 dioramas that blessed the Black Rock Desert this year at Burningman.

Tiny Tropolis

From a distance, Tiny Tropolis appears as a row of standard cardboard boxes that have been secured, one after another, upon a wooden structure stretching out on the playa. The heart of Tiny Tropolis lies within, and passersby will need to get in close to experience the richness of this installation. Each cardboard box contains a diorama constructed by a different individual in tribute to the potential of expression for each of our internal creative realities. Like the housing projects of Staten Island that brought together many of the artists that eventually composed the Wu-Tang Clan, Tiny Tropolis exposes the multitude of expressive beings living on top of and among one another in our nation's cities. Tiny Tropolis has a philosophical and literal objective to build artistic community on the playa. It is truly community-based- a collective project that funnels the artistic spirit of people across the country into the most celebratory- albeit tiny- block party to hit the playa yet.
